Illiers-Combray, Rural commune in Eure-et-Loir, France
Located at an elevation of 162 meters, Illiers-Combray extends across 133 square kilometers of northern central France in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
The village changed its name from Illiers to Illiers-Combray in 1971 to commemorate the centenary of writer Marcel Proust who used this location in his works.
The house that inspired the residence of Aunt Léonie in Proust's novel In Search of Lost Time now serves as a museum dedicated to the author.
Local administration offices provide essential services to residents from Monday through Friday, including assistance with official documents and municipal procedures.
The commune maintains a partnership with Coniston in Cumbria, England, establishing a connection between Proust's literary influence and John Ruskin's work.
